Just to give an idea of where we work from it is called the Manila Philippine Area Office or also known as MPAO There are 14 Senior Missionary couples in the office with other paid employees of the church to keep things running. The Senior Missionaries are volunteers but work is . Our pay is heavenly. There are 15 different missions in the Philippines with each having its own President and missionaries underneath them. There is an area general authority here President Edwards and he is also Mission President. There is a director of the Department of Temporal Affairs, A contractor that is over the expansion of the Missionary Training Center Complex exsiting on the MPAO premises. The MTC expansion is just getting underway. There is a Legal Counsel in the building. The facility is 5 stories high. Our office looks directly across the street at the temple. So pretty nice area to work in. We will be traveling to Cebu the end of the month to get security in place. In the course of the next year we will travel to all 15 missions to train in Security. We will see some nice places when we do that.
Some of the senior missionaries assignments are: Welfare, Family History, Perpetual Education Fund, Publics Affairs; Membership records; Real Estate and Ward alignments; Security (which is us) Assistants to the Mission President and Area President, Medical (yes there is a doctor in the house) Senior missionaries assigned to the MTC (Missionary Training Center) Thats just a few.
Hi, Kathy and Al.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are a busy couple! I know you would have it no other way. What wonderful experiences and knowledge you are getting. I love the pictures you post. Please keep that up when you can. Hope you're getting enought rest along with all you are responsible for. We still get a few storms up here, but badly needed. I can tell spring is on the way. You are, ever so, in my prayers. Love to you both.
